What are the high flow tanks on the market right now?

[tobz]

I've heard the Max flo, mac dev conquest, as well as some nitroduck, crossfire, and centerflag tanks are really high flow.

I'm getting a viking and I want a 45/4500 tank. What does everyone recommend? I will only be willing to spend a max of $250 on the tank, cheaper is better if the performance lost isn't too bad.

Well my 45/4500 flatline kept up with my emag doing f/a @ 20 bps with no skipping at all. Ask Miscue he shot it at the NorCal vs SoCal meet.

[tobz]

cool, i'll keep the flatline in mind. Anyone else with good tank experiences?

[ERut]

Flatline is ultra consistent, but gives me bad reactivity.

[speedyejl]

Crossfire, period

[sps16]

if your buying a viking, buy a conquest, very high flow and low pressure, perfect for ya :)

[speedyejl]

Crossfire more perfect!!!

Go to an event and watch them demo tanks you'll be set on Crossfire fastest recharge rates and super consistent (you'll have a Sidewinder down stream so don't worry).

Trust me I've owned 2Crossfire tanks, I've used them on my Nasty Impulse, Xmag, Dark Angel, NYX Matrix, and Bushmaster, NEVER a single problem, in anyway. My friends have used them on Vikings, DM4s, Speeds, and A4s never a problem I've heard with a Crossfire tank. Their your best bet always

[tobz]

Thanks. I'm getting a viking or an angel speed. Not sure if that changes anything. Let me know.

What output PSI should I get for a crossfire preset tank?

I will be getting an angel speed or viking. Should I go with the lower output? 450psi?

Thanks for your help. I'm sold on the crossfire, I've heard good things from them elsewhere as well.

Haven't had much experience with some of the other tanks, but my Crossfire keeps up no problem.

I think you will have a hard time finding any nitrogen tank you can outshoot now a days.

[speedyejl]

Stick with 800psi you can use them on any marker and 450psi doesn't give any great benefits if any.

[Rope a Dope]

No don't stick with 800psi.

I have an Angel Speed, if you put a volumizer on it you'll have problems chronoing under 300fps. Plus you'll waste lots of air.

450psi output is what you want. The manual recomends 400psi output and The Angel Guy recomends 500psi... so 450psi seems about right, lol

[speedyejl]

My friend owns a Speed with the largest volumizer on it. He has no problems chornoing under 300fps (are feilds are indoor 250fps) and his preassure is most likely around 180psi. Also how will you be wasting air?...

400psi also isn't a good idea with a Speed without a volumizer since its a pretty well known fact that you want 200psi between regulators to prevent shootdown.

[ERut]

If you have the money, its woth springing for an adjustable tank.

[BajaBoy]

i would take the 800psi output crossfire

[xXHavokXx]

On a speed use a 450-500psi output tank. Thats what they were designed to recieve. If you want to change to a 800 psi tank you will have to change the mini-reg spring stack or drasically lower your dwell which is bad. Or go with a new inline reg.

this is ALL HYPE.

I'm sorry. But you have a tool on your angel inbetween your volumizer and your tank. its called the INLINE REG. No matter what goes in (400psi, 500psi, 800psi, 1200psi) you can control the output down to what you want. There is no reason that the tank has to be outputting 400psi so you can have your inline reg output the right amount to get it to shoot 300fps. It can do it equally well with 400psi input or 1200psi input

[tobz]

Thanks for all of your help. I've decided against the speed. I will be for sure getting an '04 viking.

Sorry you are plain wrong...the minireg on the Speed and A4 is different to the previous models and will not drop the pressure down as you suggest with the high input numbers...Ok I see the person who started this thread has decided against a Speed but that is their choice I hope it wasn't coloured by incorrect information. If you need further proof borrow an LCD Minireg and a Speed/A4 Mini and try it yourself measuring the output from the minireg each time, you won't get it down far enough.

[tobz]

Thanks. I decided to go with the viking as it will suite me more. I've seen one rip in person, and now I want my own. Someday I'll probably get a speed also, to compare them, but for now I will try a viking. Thanks!
